WA Boufarik form and stats
Last season, WA Boufarik's league stats were 8 wins, 9 draws and 5 losses, leading to 5th spot in the Ligue 2. In these 22 matches they scored 22 goals and conceded 22. Playing at home in the previous season WA Boufarik generated 6-4-1 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 10 conceded.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Boufarik as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligue 2 match thankfully also at home. SC Ain Defla are visiting.
USM Bel Abbès form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Abbès as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 9 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. USM Bel Abbès's manager S. Slimani are hoping to lead the team right back to Ligue 1 at the first attempt.
A new game in only four days for USM Bel Abbès, the Ligue 2 home match versus USMM Hadjout. Busy days.
Head 2 Head
